CHILDREN'S SUMMER HIKE-CAMP EXPERIENCE
For
the third year in a row, we are taking a limited group of children (ages
7-12) to introduce them to hiking in a 'hike immersion' environment. This
outing has been a great success, so we are, of course, eager to head out
again. We will hike 2 sections of the Maitland Trail over a two day period,
and camp out on the night in between. Tents, sleeping bags and food will be
car-ferried to the camping site so that the children need only carry their
day packs with their lunch and drinks, and any other extras they might need
during the day - i.e. a wind jacket or sweater. (Accompanying adults are not
to be the kids 'packhorses') Activities and games will be part of each day's
hikes to make it both a learning experience and a lot of fun. The pace will
be geared for children, however as the days will be fairly active, (the trail
has lots of ups and downs), the children taking part should be both eager to
go and fairly fit. We will have a planning get together for those who think
they may be interested in having their children take part. More details will
be given at this time, and your input and ideas will also be welcome.
If you are interested, phone Wendy Hoernig (519) 524-6976
